Free Online Demonstrations!

David R. Smith is offering several free online demos.  I like his work.  I took an online workshop from him last December.  He's a good teacher and he's a lot of fun.  He's offering more online workshops this summer and more free demos today, May7th and May 11th.  Here's the link for today's demo.

 I watched his demo yesterday and enjoyed it.  Jim watched it with me.  He liked it, too.  He was a little distracted because his job was to keep Georgie entertained while we watched the demo.  We all had fun!

Mystery Plant

I don't know what this is, but I really like it.  I spotted it in a neighbor's yard when we were walking Georgie this morning.  It has balls of fluff and tiny, bright white flowers.

Quiet Days in Las Vegas

Although the hotels are closed and restaurants are open only for takeout or delivery, we are free to walk around our beautiful city while maintaining a social distance of 6 feet.  Here are some photographs from recent walks Georgie, Jim and I have taken around our neighborhood and a few photos from a walk that Jim and I took down The Strip.  The gorgeous cactus is in a neighbor's yard.  I don't know its name, but it is so beautiful that when I first saw it from a distance, I didn't think it was real.  It's about 3-1/2 feet tall.

 It's a 3 day watercolor workshop.  It should be fun!

Done!

I still didn't get the blanket the way I wanted it, but I think I'm happy with the dogs:)

Almost Done!

I still want to work on the blanket because it looks flat and doesn't seem like it's curving around the dogs.  They look kind of like paper dolls right now, but I think I'm getting there.

Tammy's Kids - Work in Progress

This is what I'm working on right now.  I changed the color of the blanket from the original photo.  I loved that color, but I thought making it lighter would help put more focus on the kids.  I still have a few more layers to paint.  If it turns out, I'll send it to my sister.
